What Makes Our Smoked Streaky Bacon Special?

Naturally Smoked for Authentic Flavour

Our smoked streaky bacon develops its distinctive character through a natural smoking process following curing.

The smoke adds depth and richness to the savoury flavour of the pork, creating bacon with a delicious aroma and a wonderfully satisfying finish.

It's particularly good for customers who enjoy a more pronounced bacon flavour.

Traditionally Dry-Cured

Dry-curing is a traditional method of preparing bacon, valued for the savoury character and texture it develops.

Combined with natural smoking, it creates a proper butcher's bacon with distinctive flavour.

Quality British Pork

We use carefully selected British pork, prepared by our skilled butchers in Warwick.

Streaky bacon comes from the belly of the pig, where alternating layers of meat and fat give the cut its characteristic appearance.

These natural layers are what make streaky bacon particularly delicious when cooked until golden and crisp.

Perfect for Crispy Bacon

As streaky bacon cooks, its natural fat gradually renders, helping the rashers develop beautifully crisp edges.

The combination of rendered fat, savoury cure and natural smoke creates a particularly satisfying flavour.

It's a wonderful choice for a traditional breakfast or a proper bacon sandwich.

Ideal for Wrapping Meat

Smoked streaky bacon is an excellent accompaniment to roast poultry and pork.

Wrapping rashers around chicken breasts, pork tenderloin or a roasting joint adds flavour and helps protect the surface of the meat during cooking.

Its smoky character provides an extra dimension to the finished dish.

Perfect for Homemade Pigs in Blankets

For a delicious variation on the Christmas classic, wrap strips of smoked streaky bacon around our handmade cocktail sausages.

Roast until the bacon is golden and the sausages are thoroughly cooked.

The natural smokiness complements the savoury flavour of the pork sausages beautifully.

Prepared by Our Warwick Butchers

Our smoked streaky bacon is cured, smoked and sliced in-store using traditional butchery skills.

We take pride in offering carefully prepared products that deliver quality, flavour and versatility.
